dvd won't open asus tower..no hole for a paperclip

[teri1955]

help ..I cannot find any holes near the dvd/cd player for the paperclip trick. I've rebooted, and I've clicked on the manual eject button as well as the eject eject button

Can you post a picture of the front of the computer? I'd like to see a clear pic of the optical drive.

Time to get out the screwdriver, remove, take off player cover, and clean. i test with cover off.

People need to figure out how post so that a quote and reply appear in the same post, instead of two separate posts. Maybe it's a "phone thing". I have no such issue on a laptop.

Last time, no. This time, yes.

Is it just me, or does it seem odd that the drive has no manual eject hole?

Never thought of that. Thanks!

Does it have a DVD drive? I ask because many posts people confused whether they actually have the item.

True, that!

I think that was the point clutchc was trying to make by asking for a photo, too.

Exactly. My neighbor recently called me over to try to open her optical drive on some low end Dell desktop. Damn thing looked like it had a drive, but it was just a dummy face-plate made to look like a drive. Deceptive sales practice, IMO.
